Avant

So...it just hit me, we're leaving on Thursday. Before I was like, oooohh this'll be fun, but now reality is just setting in. I mean, France? The farthest I've traveled is to Boston. I'm a little anxious...What to expect? I have no idea...I'm really excited, anyway. I have so much more to do before we leave!! More shopping, laundry, etc. And I have this problem of never being able to pack lightly enough. But I'm working on it (and I got these really cool "Space Bags"). And only two pairs of shoes to bring...decisions, decisions. And I have to figure out who I should get souvenirs for, and what I should get, etc.

I know this trip will be amazing, no matter what happens. I just hope I don't act too touristy and take the time to enjoy what we're doing instead of obsessing over photos. Also hope that I take enough photos. I just hope I don't get lost!! If I do, I guess I'll be able to deal with it. I mean as long as I don't get kidnapped by some French mafia men or anything, it's all good. I'm most excited about Paris, of course. Shopping!!!!! Oh, and the chocolate factory in Troyes. Wish us luck!
